The other day the mailman delivered the bills and a
lead saying a doctor's office around the corner wanted to get rid of their 'big
old' computer. Picture my stationwagon's wheels squealing out of the driveway
moments later. ;)
Turns out to be a IBM PowerServer 520, a 3151 ascii terminal, a 7207 scsi tape, a 4226
printer, a couple of concentrator boxes, and the cabeling to run it all. It boots cleanly
into AIX 3.2 and I've got the root password for it. Sweet, though I didn't get
any media or docs or see a C compiler in there either. Off to the faqs there
By the way, this machine will run newish OS. Anything up to and
including AIX 5.1. 5.2 requires PCI/CHRP.
Peace... Sridhar
